    Are moderators able to see the public modlog for their own community? Or is the modlog totally anonymous for everyone besides admins?

    I’m not sure what the case is, I expected that moderators would be able to view the identity of mod actions in their own communities.

      Moderators of the community can see what mod did what action. I don’t think users can. It should at least show the user that was “moderated” what mod did the action so they know who to complain to first.

        Yeah I guess. I just feel like a user complaining directly to the mod who removed their post is unlikely to have a productive outcome. It’s not likely that the moderator is suddenly going to change their mind and restore it, nor is it likely that the user is going to suddenly decide that the removal was justified. You’re probably gonna need a third party to arbitrate anyway.

        But I also don’t totally disagree, it’s definitely worthy of discussion.

          I was thinking more along the line of user bans. Usually from what I gather they end up mailing all the mods to figure out why they are banned. It creates extra work that could probably be avoided.

          Unbanning users from a community is a whole process in itself as well since you have to find a post they made.

            That’s definitely fair. Thanks for starting the Agora thread
